A Visual Guide to SciComm
Throughout 2022, I led the development of a library of visual stories to help more people understand the science and practice of science communication.
Many collaborators, including expert science communicators, artists, and my former team at Lifeology.io, contributed to this library of SciComm mini-courses. Enjoy your SciComm Learning!
